Lyrics

ONLINE DATING
Words and Music by Jackie Morris

Online dating, modern mating
Find your dream come true
Doctor, lawyer or Tom Sawyer
They?re waiting for you
Post your picture, tell your story
Drop a year or so
Say you?re lovely, don?t say lonely?
Who will ever know?
Who will ever know!

CHORUS
And hey, hey, you?ve got mail!
Hey ? just that easy! ? you?ve got mail
Mmmmmmm?.male!

He says honey, I?m so funny
Warm and loving, too
Fit and trim, go to the gym
And make six figures, too
Posts his photo, tells his story
Adds an inch or two
Loves fine dining, now he?s shining!
If you only knew!
If you only knew!

But hey, hey, he?s got mail!
Hey ? just that easy! ?he?s got mail
And quite a few!

Do you, don?t you??Will you, won?t you??
Like the same things, too?
You haven?t danced in 20 years
(You?d better say ?a few?)
Would you, should you? So you meet him
In a small café
Here he comes?no, couldn?t be!
Too late to walk away!

Well, hey, hey you?ve got mail
It isn?t always easy. Here?s your male
Sometimes it?s sort of sleazy, but it?s male
Hmmph, male!

So you greet him, take your seat ?n
Try to say you?re glad
But you know, the hour goes slow
Looks like he sent his dad!
Then you see, with clarity
He?s looking rather blue
Could it be ? of all the nerve! ?
He?s disappointed too!

Well, hey, hey, you?ve got mail!
There always is tomorrow and there?s mail
Online there is no sorrow, only mail
Mmmmm?male!

BRIDGE
All men are 6-feet tall on the Internet
And they?re handsome and loyal and true
No matter what their wife told them yesterday
All they need is a woman like you! Ahhhh?..

Online dating, modern mating
Find your dream come true
Doctor, lawyer or Tom Sawyer
They?re waiting for you
Post your picture, tell your story
Drop a year or so.
Say you?re lovely, don?t say lonely?.
Who will ever know?

Say you?re lovely, don?t say lonely?.
Who will ever know!
